The faster you go, the brighter these bad boys get. Here is a little clip on Dalleys Road at around 60 kph....

Fortune by Patrick Switzer
Decision time - to procure or not to procure?
A virtual toss of the coin meant that the Rayne Fortune was destined to become a part of the quiver.
Clear grip job to enable the character of the graphic to remain in the public view, Paris 180's and the Orangatang In Heats for a smooth ride....pretty stoked.
Thanks Basement Skate in bloody Redfern.

Time for something new - RAYNE Time.
For years I have been debating whether or not to get the Patrick Switzer signature board, the Rayne Fortune.
It's done.
Now what will Robbo do as a Grip Job?
Looking forward to picking up this bad boy.

It's almost over
St Leonards is no longer a vibrant, healthy place.
It is remarkably downbeat and droll.
The area is now lacking a heartbeat that was associated with lots of activity and lots of young people.
I'm trying to work out what the problem is and I shed a tear as I am forced to concede that my local skateboard shop is now gone.
Chagrin.

Basement Redfern*
Much to my chagrin, Basement Skate was out of place in St Leonards. The scene has changed and the walk in traffic and kids wanting longboards had passed.
Evolve or die. The evolution of Basement Skate is to go south to the spiritual home of street skating...Redfern.
The one thing I do like about the new location is is that a little bit of Naremburn ...you see those fence palings - they are from my place.
Robbo and Trav turned up a couple of years ago asking if I had some weathered fence palings.
I had several that I wasn't using but they wanted more so we dismantled most of my side fence. Looks pretty good in Redfern as it happens.

They took all of their shit and deserted me*
One day the Basement Skate mob were 800m away and then they weren't. The doors closed on Sunday 21st June 2015 and that was it.....
Gutted.....
